100% positive they are both 12V. they are NOT ground points. As stated above, one goes to the battery, the other is the charging lead from the atlernator.

Wouldn't know this except I've had to dig into the wiring in my friends 00 EX lately because the previous owner of his car was incompetent with wiring.
